What is the July New Moon named?
Depending on when the July New Moon is, the name will change. It may either be called the New Buck Moon, New Sturgeon Moon, or New Blue Moon.
If the new moon occurs towards the first half of the month it will be called the New Buck Moon as it starts the lunar cycle for the July Full Moon.
If the new moon occurs in the second half of the month the new moon will be called the New Sturgeon Moon because it is the new moon that starts the lunar cycle for the August Full Moon.
It’s also possible the new moon will be called the New Blue Moon if it occurs in the middle of the month when July has 2 full moons. As the later moon would be called a Full Blue Moon, the new moon that month would be a new blue moon as it starts the lunar cycle.
Which season includes the July New Moon?
The July New moon occurs in the summer season. It is frequently the first new moon of the summer season, occasionally the second.
The New Moon in July will not be a seasonal black moon because there are not enough days after the summer solstice for 3 new moons to occur before the end of July.
When is the New July Moon in 2022?
The July 2022 New Moon will be on Thursday July 28, 2022 1:55 PM ET or 6:55 PM UTC. This will be the first new moon of the Summer 2022 season as it occurs almost a week after the Summer Solstice.
